Organisms use different types of adaptations to aid in their survival. many different types of animals hibernate throughout the winter. during hibernation, the animal's metabolism slows and its core temperature lowers. what is this process called

torpor

Explanation:

Torpor differs from hibernation mainly by the frequency that occurs: hibernation can last months, while torpor is an ability to slow down metabolism for a short period of time so that the animal adapts to the conditions of a certain environment. Torpor also enables the animal to have its core temperature lowered.

During the state of torpor several changes occur in the organisms of the animals in question. In addition to the decrease in temperature, there is a decrease in respiration rate and a decrease in peripheral blood irrigation, which remains in the center of the body.

In some cases, animals can get out of the state of torpor on their own, depending on the heat production from inside their body. At other times, it is necessary for the animal's body temperature to rise gradually, following the rise in the room temperature.

The state of torpor and the size of the animal are closely related. Torpor is more advantageous for small animals and is more practiced by them, since small animals have a higher energy cost for maintaining high body temperatures than large animals and large animals take a long time to cool down, making this a process impractical for them.
